The Body is Gone… But The Head Lives On!

A horror film of dubious taste, at least for the early ’60s when it was released, this Gothic tale about transplanted heads comes from Germany and is directed by Victor Trivas. Prof. Abel (Michel Simon) has invented the miraculous “Serum X,” and with it he successfully keeps a dog’s head alive after the rest of the canine is quite dead. When the able Prof. Abel dies, his assistant, the odd Dr. Ood (Horst Frank), keeps Abel’s head around — but not for old times’ sake. Dr. Ood is in love with a hunchbacked nurse (Karin Kernke) and he wants Abel’s head to help him out with a novel transplant operation. Dr. Ood wants to take the body of a stripper (Christiane Maybach), snip off her head, and put the nurse’s head in its place. Unfortunately, nothing goes exactly as he plans. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi.
